    DSi XL Spots on Top Screen

    Yeah, I've seen it mentioned a few times but didn't try it until a week ago. It works like a charm and saves a lot of work. I would say that is the worst case. If you're up to it, there is no harm in trying to pull the LCD apart to try and clean it. If you intend on replacing it, it's a garbage...

    DSi XL Spots on Top Screen

    I don't have the most experience with that, but if I had that console in front of me, I would pop off the top screen lens with a suction cup and try and clean the lens and the LCD display with some IPA so see if anything changes. Hopefully, those blotches are just the result of some...

    Hardware Misc Tutorial DSi/DSi XL Problem and Solution Master List (In Progress)

    This is a list I've been compiling for some time now, and I thought it was to a point where it may be useful to others. It does contain a lot of anecdotes and guessing, so use this information with that in mind and do additional research where necessary. Note that this is an incomplete project...

    Hardware Visual DSi Diagnostic Guide

    Then, whether or not I think it's ready, I'll go ahead and post my list. It should have a lot of hyperlinked forum posts that will be very useful to you. https://gbatemp.net/threads/dsi-dsi-xl-problem-and-solution-master-list-in-progress.657084/

    Hardware Visual DSi Diagnostic Guide

    Sort of. Maybe it's just me, but it hangs onto the white screens for just a few more milliseconds. That suggests, at least to me, that the console is crashing versus powering off due to a "failed self check" as i've heard it mentioned. I threw together a quick test bench with the faulty camera...

    Hardware Visual DSi Diagnostic Guide

    You know what, this is an excellent idea. I have been working on a Problem and Solution Master Sheet for DSi and DSi XL consoles. It's a collection of anecdotal evidence from IFixIt and GBAtemp as well as personal experience working on Parts consoles. I haven't posted it since a lot of...

    Need help with weird spots in top screen of Nintendo DSi

    If it means anything to you, these marks were something I noticed on a couple of DSi I had, but I didn't have a clear answer to what it was. Not to get sidetracked, but I didn't know the sunburn was the cause of those giant spots on those older Gameboys. The more you know.

    Need help with weird spots in top screen of Nintendo DSi

    That is very interesting. When I can get my hands on that console again, I'll have to run it under a microscope for pure academic curiosity.

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    My ignorance of the topic only hides the full complexity of the process, but it's something I can look into. Thank you for the input.

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    That was the impression I got. Gosh, ピピン (Pippin) had that video made in 2010 and 14 years is an eternity for electronics. Though I originally set out to replicate Pippin's setup, I am just not able to get my hands on that old board. The two main chips are still available for purchase through...

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    Preface: This is an essay, of sorts, compiling all of the information about the Dsi Capture Card that I could find. Information may be missing or inaccurate, but what I present is my current understanding of the project. I have an interest in reviving the concept and properly archiving every...

    Need help with weird spots in top screen of Nintendo DSi

    I only looked into this once, but on the DSi I had, the marks were imprinted on the inside of the lens. I'll need to look at it again since I didn't even think about the lens making physical contact with the LCD to create that mark.

    DSi XL bottom screen goes blank after some time

    Were you able to find a solution? The times I've heard about this problem it's either a faulty display or related to the potentiometers in the battery compartment. Display-related issues seem to be a very hard thing to diagnose and fix when they aren't outright busted.

    Need some help with DSi repair please

    Breaking the tab for the top screen is my #1 fear. Unless I am ignorant of a method, I have no clue how to replace it without destroying the camera unit connector on the other side of the board (ruling out hot air). You might be able to get a small iron tip in there to solder the connectors, but...

    DSi Blue Light Black Screens. What are all of the causes?

    Have you had any luck finding a solution? This seems to be a problem unique to the DSi since I haven't run across any mention of it on the DSI XL.

    Hardware my dsiXL sd card reader is damaged, is it replaceable by any means?

    It's a very easy replacement as it is located within the bottom shell of the console. It looks like replacement parts are plentiful. Check and IFixIt guide, keep track of your screws, and you'll have it done easily.

    I just played little of "Still Wakes The Deep" , just came to gamepass today, its alright, kinda creepy. I'm not usually a horror game fan, but it looks really good graphic wise, esp w 4k. I admit it made me jump a few times.
